Well any mantis is reef safe if you are just talking corals :P . Most mantises will eat the cleanup crew, and bottom dwelliing fish are an easy target sometimes. Fish that stay in the water column are pretty safe with smaller (non peacock) smashers. Only coral not safe with is maybe very large stony colonies. For cleanup crews P. ciliata will rarely take out hermits or snails (though if they are so inclined I know they can pull out hermits). Crabs may be eaten, shrimp will almost always be eaten unless they are nocturnal and have a good hiding spot during the day or maybe really small or maybe commensal with anenomes or corals. Or sometimes a mantis will gety lazy and won't attack any live food at all.
